Closed Captioning on FOX Ch6 DT?

I can't seem to get closed captioning to work on Ch6 DT during any FOX network programs.  It works fine on all local shows ( like news and Seinfeld ), but a 7pm when they switch to network, the captioning does not display.  I have 3 digital receivers from 3 different manufactuers and they all refuse to display FOX network captions.  Oddly enough, a Radio Shack converter box on a TV in the bedroom works OK.  What's going on here?  This is not a signal / reception issue because the captions work on local shows.  I've gone through all the set-ups to insure I'm on CC1 and / or CS-1.   I'd appreciate if some of you fellow forum members could check your captioning on CH6 DT during primetime and report back if you have service.  Thanks  Tod

I use captioning quite a bit.  I don't remember ever having an issue with Fox PrimeTime.  I'm almost exclusively using a D* box when doing this, FYI.

Now, ABC, on the other hand.... :(
